Alogte Oho Jonas and his Sounds of Joy are a gospel group from Bongo, a ghanaian bordertown of Burkina Faso. We discovered him because his music was a big local sucess last summer and could be heard in the main market of Bolgatanga everyday we stayed there. Jonas started singing in the church choir when he was five years old. Now, at 25 years of age, he has lived for and made a living from his music for the past 5 years, releasing an album every year. The B-side features the Sahel Souls, the carribean flavored branch of the Philophon house band.

Roy X is the alter ego of Jimmy Taylor, the youngest child of ghanian Hi-Life-legend Ebo Taylor. He studies fine-arts at the University of Winneba, but every free second he spends in his studio, which Ebo helped to establish in the familys hometown of Saltpond. „Odoyewu“ is his first release and pays an evident respect for the groundwork his father laid over the past five decades.
